Invitation to join Socrates Caf?? at the Weaver Library??
The Weaver Library???s Socrates Caf?? invites you to??participate??in the upcoming season of this friendly discussion group, now in its??fifth year.?? All voices are welcome. Participants exchange ideas in the manner of the Greek philosopher Socrates and meet monthly throughout the year.??????
Gatherings promote thoughtful, respectful inquiry on questions of universal interest, such as these: What are qualities of a good leader? Can you love someone you do not respect? What is life???s purpose?
Given the success of the program, moderator Betsy Shea-Taylor hosts two separate groups every month on the first and third Thursdays from September through May.?? Each group begins at 6:25 pm and ends at 7:45 pm.?? Registration is required as these are not drop-in groups. ??
The idea for the Socrates Caf?? evolved out of the 2001 book of the same name by Christopher Phillips, and has been embraced around the globe.
Betsy Shea-Taylor, who is a journalist and literacy tutor, invites prospective members to stop in to the Library???s Conference Room on Wednesday, August 15, 2018 any time from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm to discuss the Socrates Caf?? discussion process. ??
Weaver Library is located at 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914.
